They’re back!

As sure as spring teases us with warmer weather and more sunshine, those elements are just the ticket for the wildflowers in the Illinois Valley to start popping, like this bloodroot pictured at right. On Saturday and Sunday, Starved Rock State Park is playing host to a wildflower pilgrimage — guided hikes to view the spring wildflowers, including bluebells, trillium, Dutchman britches and more. The hikes leave from the Starved Rock Visitor Center at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. According to park personnel, the hikes will be of varying lengths and times, and guides will inform participants of the different hikes before setting out to find these flowery surprises. There is no charge to participate. Hikers are encouraged to wear appropriate footwear for hiking; some trails could be muddy.

Do you need to rethink your first-choice college?

Study shows less than 60 percent enroll in top option Tens of thousands of high school students will be receiving their college acceptance letters in April and May. It’s an anxious time – students and their parents want to believe their school holds the promise that attendance will be their “golden ticket” to eventual financial success. So, if they are trying to get from “Point A” (here and now) to “Point B” (financial independence), how do they select the school that will deliver that return on their investment?

“Young people tend to quickly fall in love with a school, and parents tend to quickly wear their son’s or daughter’s acceptance as a badge of honor, or at least validation as a successful parent,’’ says David Porter, social architect, consultant to colleges and universities throughout North America and author of “The Porter Principles,” a guide to college success through social engineering.

“Students and parents should be skeptical and consider all of what a college has offer, and how it will deliver on the implicit promise of financial independence. Which school will nurture and grow the prerequisite face-to-face, problem-solving skills required to secure gainful employment and financial independence upon graduation?”

According to the most recent study from the University of California, Los Angeles’ Higher Education Research Institute, only 58 percent of the surveyed 204,000 college freshmen enrolled at their firstchoice college, the lowest percentage to do so since the question was first asked in 1974.

The major factors behind the decline are cost and financial aid. A 2012 study by the research group, Ipsos, and the student loan giant, Sallie Mae, indicates that roughly 70 percent of families are ruling out colleges based on cost.

First choice or otherwise, Porter says students and their families should consider a variety of factors in estimating the most value to be had at a campus. Some are more relevant than others:

• A school’s ranking: According to one of the world’s leading public intellects who regularly weighs in on academic issues, Malcom Gladwell, the national ranking a school receives doesn’t necessarily reflect the needs of individual students. Just like an expensive sports car is valued, in part, from an arbitrary, expensive price tag, so too are colleges.

The various needs a young adult will have are by no means fully represented by the seven variables used by the U.S. News rankings, run by Robert Morse.

The variables include undergraduate academic reputation, financial resources and alumni giving.

• On-campus culture and community: In addition to academics and the rigors thereof, a college offers (or fails to offer) a unique on-campus college experience. Will the environment foster success (post-graduate financial independence), or will it essentially be a few more years of high school under the guise of “college?” Look for safe, wholesome campus venues, like a student union or a next generation dining learning commons that invites student interaction, collaboration, problem-solving and dining 24/7. Social architecture – the conscious design of an environment to encourage social behaviors that lead toward a goal – is a ground-breaking approach that social architecture visionary Porter is successfully introducing to more campuses across North America every day.

• Parent-student understanding: Move out and stay out (because you can). Mom and Dad, we want a nice home, a nice car, nice vacations, nice stuff, nice meals, etc. etc. etc. It costs tens of thousands of dollars per year to attend most colleges. Whether or not a student assumes massive debt to follow his/ her dreams, or a parent shares the burden should be moot if the student can identify, pursue and secure gainful employment upon graduation. Having debt is an enormous burden at any stage of life if you are unemployed. Choosing a school is a great opportunity for parents to lead by example on how to make a purchase decision for any “big ticket” item. Do your homework. Buyer beware. Coach them using some of the same skills you would use to buy a house or purchase a car or invest in a new business.

Food court How about making some different pancake recipes for a change in your breakfast menu? There are so many different recipes; it’s kind of fun to try something different.

Buttermilk Pancakes 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 2 tablespoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 egg, lightly beaten 1 1/2 cups buttermilk 3 tablespoons cooking oil In a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. In another bowl use a fork to combine egg, buttermilk and oil. Add egg mixture, all at once, to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be slightly lumpy). For standard-size pancakes, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto a hot lightly greased heavy skillet or griddle, spreading batter if necessary. (For dollar-size pancakes, use about 1 tablespoon batter.) Cook over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until pancakes are golden brown. Turning to second side when pancakes have bubbly surface and edges are slight dry. Serve warm. Serve with butter and syrup of your choice.

Makes 12 standard-size pancakes or 40 dollar-size. On this recipe I like to add semisweet chocolate chips for something different.

Peace and Justice Roundtable will sponsor Holocaust film, discussion PRINCETON — The film “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” will be shown at 6:30 p.m. May 1 at the Princeton Public Library, in conjunction with national Holocaust Remembrance Week, April 27-May 4.

After the showing, there will be a group discussion about the film.

The Princeton Peace and Justice Roundtable is the sponsor of this special event. It is also one of the programs in the library’s continuing “Talk About” series.

This 2008 feature film

tells the story of two young boys who become friends in the unlikely setting of a German concentration camp prior to World War II. Bruno is the son of an SS Commandant who moves his family to the countryside when he is assigned to run the camp. Soon after the family’s arrival, young Bruno befriends Shmuel, another youth, who is strangely dressed in striped pajamas and living behind an electrified fence. Bruno is told he can’t be friends with this boy because he is a

Jew. He also learns that the neighboring yard is actually a prison camp for Jews awaiting extermination.

All are invited to attend the film showing and discussion. However, parents are cautioned that, because of the subject matter, the film (rated PG-13) may not be suitable for young children.

For further information, call the First Christian Church at 815-8790916, Open Prairie UCC at 815-872-5150 or the Princeton Public Library at 815- 875-1331.
